James
Stevens
I am London based slacktivist with a bent for the irational and irreverent.
For a decade the focus for my work has been on establishment of self
sustaining models of open collaboration and experiment. These models
succeed in opening up space for improvisation and innovation which
expose opportunity, invite interference to present on a open public
platform.
SPC.org is the umbrella for ongoing activities that share the
accumulated resources, knowledge and experience of practice. It is
home to Backspace Radiospace and most recently Deckspace and host to
numorous live, critical and loose expressions of progress.
